Mark Ostoich and Earnest Harrison, my two major professors at Louisiana State University, and Wallace McKenzie, also at Louisiana State University, have guided me through my years of study. Lyle Merriman, former Dean of the School of Music at LSU, presently Director of the School of Music at Penn State University in University Park, PA, provided me with the initial idea for the index, and Raymond Martin, Central College, Pella, Iowa, suggested the listing of the identical themes. I thank these two not only for their ideas, but for their unfailing encouragement. I owe a debt of gratitude to two professors at Kansas State University. I wish to thank Hanley Jackson for his help with learning and using a music-writing computer program, and Chappell White for his numerous suggestions and words of advice concerning the index. I also wish to thank the faculty and staff of the Kansas State University Library where I have been a Music Cataloger for the past three years.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • 5-1 Shostakovich's Knowledge and Understanding of the Oboe and Cor
    5-1 CHAPTERS MELODIC ASPECTS 5.1 Introduction Shostakovich's knowledge and understanding of the oboe and cor anglais are clearly reflected in the allocation of solo material throughout his 15 symphonies. 5.2 Allocation of solo material to the oboe Although the oboe is clearly not Shostakovich's favourite instrument, the solo material reveals a deft understanding of the instrument's technical and lyrical capabilities. Symphonies No.2, 11 and 13, however, have no solos for the oboe. The oboes are not used in Symphony No. 14 as it is scored for strings, percussion and soloists. As early as Symphony No. 1 Shostakovich establishes himself with insight as an orchestrator of oboe solos. A wide range of dynamic indications accompany the oboe solos, unlike the cor anglais whose predominantly allocated dynamic range is piano. Shostakovich writes very sympathetically for the player by not exhausting his stamina and by allowing sufficient rests in solo passages and avoiding long phrases. Solo passages are sometimes given to the second oboe and cor anglais in unison or in thirds, sixths or otherwise (see Ex. 5-5). Solo passages are also sometimes shared with other woodwind instruments. Oboe solos are generally approximately 8 bars long, although longer solos are found in Symphonies No.1, 4, 7 and 10 with 16 or more bars in length. The first movement of Symphony No.7 has the longest solo of 35 bars in which the bassoon and first oboe have solos in free imitation. Oboe solos are often supported by a characteristic tremolo string accompaniment, or by sustained strings or low woodwinds.

  • Heckelphone / Bass Oboe Repertoire
    Heckelphone / Bass Oboe Repertoire by Peter Hurd; reorganized and amended by Holger Hoos, editor-in-chief since 2020 version 1.2 (21 March 2021) This collection is based on the catalogue of musical works requiring heckelphone or bass oboe instrumen- tation assembled by Peter Hurd beginning in 1998. For this new edition, the original version of the repertoire list has been edited for accuracy, completeness and consistency, and it has been extended with a number of newly discovered pieces. Some entries could not (yet) be rigorously verified for accuracy; these were included nonetheless, to provide leads for future investigation, but are marked clearly. Pieces were selected for inclusion based solely on the use of heckelphone, bass oboe or lupophone, without any attempt at assessing their artistic merit. Arrangements of pieces not originally intended for these instruments were included when there was clear evidence that they had found a significant audience. The authors gratefully acknowledge contributions by Michael Finkelman, Alain Girard, Thomas Hiniker, Robert Howe, Gunther Joppig, Georg Otto Klapproth, Mark Perchanok, Andrew Shreeves and Michael Sluman.

  • The Harmonic Oscillator
    Appendix A The Harmonic Oscillator Properties of the harmonic oscillator arise so often throughout this book that it seemed best to treat the mathematics involved in a separate Appendix. A.1 Simple Harmonic Oscillator The harmonic oscillator equation dates to the time of Newton and Hooke. It follows by combining Newton’s Law of motion (F = Ma, where F is the force on a mass M and a is its acceleration) and Hooke’s Law (which states that the restoring force from a compressed or extended spring is proportional to the displacement from equilibrium and in the opposite direction: thus, FSpring =−Kx, where K is the spring constant) (Fig. A.1). Taking x = 0 as the equilibrium position and letting the force from the spring act on the mass: d2x M + Kx = 0. (A.1) dt2 2 = Dividing by the mass and defining ω0 K/M, the equation becomes d2x + ω2x = 0. (A.2) dt2 0 As may be seen by direct substitution, this equation has simple solutions of the form x = x0 sin ω0t or x0 = cos ω0t, (A.3) The original version of this chapter was revised: Pages 329, 330, 335, and 347 were corrected.

However, almost no structural research has been performed into the impact this has, or might have in the future, on musicians in training. air#3 That the distinction between composition and performance differs according to culture is also an area of interest. The Amsterdam Conservatory has invited Joël Bons to investi- gate the opportunities arising from the combination of differ- ent music cultures, for both composition and performance prac- tice. Particular attention will be given to bringing these two practices closer to one another. Where possible he will, in response to his findings, advise the Board on the selection of guest tutors and other teaching air#4 staff, the development and reform of the curriculum, and the programming of the Composition Department. In addition, the Amsterdam Conservatory has asked Joël Bons to investigate the feasibility of a Centre of Excellence at the Conservatory devoted to various aspects of non-Western music, namely knowledge, research, composition and performance. air#0 air#1 From the letter of appointment air#2 Joël Bons Joël Bons studied guitar and composition at the Sweelinck Conservatory in 4 5 Amsterdam. After completion of his composition studies, he attended summer Winds courses by Franco Donatoni in Siena and the Darmstädter Ferienkurse für Neue Musik.

  • A HISTORY of the OBOE from ANTIQUITY to 1750 Thies IS
    379 A HISTORY OF THE OBOE FROM ANTIQUITY TO 1750 THiES IS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State College in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS by Perry 0. Stephens, B. M. E. McKinney, Texas August, 1955 PEFACE The purpose of this study is to trace the development of the oboe and its use from the primitive double reed instruments to the oboes of the Baroque Period. Toward the end of this period the oboe became thoroughly established as an important section in the symphony orchestra and has remained so to the present time. The history of the oboe is not a clearly defined one since it dates from antiquity and has developed with other double reed instruments such as the bagpipe. There have been recent attempts to assimilate the per- formance of music of the Baroque and earlier periods. There- fore, the quality of the sound and the limitations of the instruments must be considered in order to achieve an accu- rate reproduction of the performance. It is in this area that this study should be of some benefit. The writer is primarily concerned with documentary references to the genesis of the oboe. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page PRFACE.. .. ... iii LIST OF ILTTTiOK. * v LIST OF PLATES . vii Chapter I.
